How do sections labeled as a Freshman Seminar differ from other SC sections?
Freshman Seminars are themed composition courses taught in conjunction with Introduction to Arts and Sciences. This 4-credit unit allows students to fulfill the SC requirement while also learning about the University, reflecting on distinctions between high school and college, and exploring some of the cultural events on campus and within Pittsburgh’s distinctive neighborhoods. Freshman Seminar themes vary from year to year. Past courses have focused on topics such as science, education, religion, and Native America.
